Madrid, Spain, 1959. She is a full professor of Prehistory at the Complutense University of Madrid, where she trained and obtained her doctorate in 1987. Her interest in the way in which oral populations understand the world, parallel to their relationship with the Institute of Feminist research of his university, explain the growing interdisciplinarity of his research, focused on the study of human identity. His recent works propose a reflection on the differences in the way in which men and women build their identity from a dynamic perspective, taking into account their historical genealogies. Philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychoanalysis, archeology and history are amalgamated in this interdisciplinary and heterodox attempt, which escapes traditional disciplinary approaches and claims the importance of objects as an expression of unconscious dynamics of culture. She has done field work with indigenous groups in Guatemala, Thailand and Brazil, and has been a guest researcher at the universities of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) and Berkeley, the University of Chicago and Harvard.
